Missouri: Two More Die in Neighborhood Attack

By The Associated Press

Sept. 9, 2014

An elderly couple severely beaten in their Kansas City home, allegedly by a man also accused of fatally shooting three of their neighbors, died Tuesday after being taken off life support. Ann Taylor, 86, and her husband, George Taylor, 80, were attacked on Sept. 2. Prosecutors say the suspect, Brandon Howell, beat the couple, then fatally shot three other people outside nearby homes before fleeing in the Taylors’ S.U.V. He was arrested hours later when police officers found him walking with a loaded shotgun. Mr. Howell, 34, faces a dozen felony charges, including three counts of first-degree murder.
